It's not outdated but it's rarely necessary because:- the HostedEngine volume must be dedicated for the HE VM. Setting enough space for the bricks is enough - for example physical disk is 100GB, Thinpool is 100GB, thin LV 84GB (16GB should be put aside for the metadata). In such configuration, you can't go out of space.I/O overhead can be minimized by setting the full stripe size (and the thinpool chunk size) between 1MiB and 2MiB (preferably in the lower end). One big advantage of the thinpool-based bricks is that you can create snapshots of the volume. Usually I shut down the engine, snapshot the volume and then power up and do the necessary actions (for example Engine upgrade).
